Web 2.0 Reflections



Web 2.0 a very useful tools to study about it was under MIS course, the interesting things about this subject is that we not only studying it as a theory we also practicing it in our daily life and projects of other subjects. During this course I have not only studying web 2.0 also I have introduced to the computer, communication, internet, wireless and modern ways of technology for easy life. I had learned so much from this subject I highly recommend this course to student not only for year 4 but also for foundation were they could find it even more beneficial. I will mention each tools I had used in web 2.0 and discus how valuable was for me and I will ranked it from the most superior tool to the least preferred one.




Blogger is an useful site where you can update your personal diary on-line frequently, maybe weekly, daily, or even several times and a day the person who updates Blogs is called “Blogger” the visitor enable to post comments and/or suggestions allowing interactivity between the Blogger and the visitors. 10/10









Google Calendar was so easy to understand it was not complicated and it's powerful t's easy to keep track of life's important events all in one place It doesn't magically organize your life, but it can make the task much easier for you also you can share your calendar with others and you can meek a video call to meek an appointment also you can receives a reminder on phone every day. 10/10







Google Map make my life so easy because I easily get nervous specially when I want to find a locations, but with the Google Map I find the direction easily without calling somebody to tell me where is the location it also save the time because it can show me if the road is crowded or not you can find it in your phone and mobile phones its useful in technology life you can use it not only in your country you can use it in many places.  10/10








  
A social bookmark tool a very useful one for research and saving the information, when you find a very interest information you might highlighted write a note on it and then save it in your library under the list of the subject you are researching for. Best tool for student to use on their projects. This is the last year for me in the college I know about Diigo only this year I hope I know about earlier because Diigo I will help me to save money and time because I won’t go to buy a highlighter this more professional way to save your highlighted page.   10/10 





 ( Picasa)Provided by Google as a tool for editing photos and create a movie from them were you can write a small caption on them too. I have been using it to edit my picture and then uploading it to Instagram or putting them as a display pictures in my blackberry messenger and WhatsApp. I always took a photos and I like to edit them really recommend it for editing as it easy and fast to work with and fast to work with. 10/10



Before I was introduced to Google chrome I used internet explorer as my research engine, however, Google chrome is must faster, easy to work with, remember every search I do, more effective in using. Moreover, provide you with Apps to upgrade your work such as quick notes the offline email etc … I extremely recommending it to be used as the first chose as a research engine. 8/10



I didn’t know that creating a website was that easy in my opinion I thought only who has a background of graphic designers and studying IT have the best experience to create one. After I was presented to Google site I was able to make my own it was for a project in my MIS course but it’s the best practice I can have before I start my own website. If you wish to do a website of your own thought you have to choose Google site.  7/10






Google Drive &Dropbox Consider as a huge storage for your work and its save all your work online wee you can login from any device anywhere and just download it or share it with other very easy and fast than you can think. Not only pictures also files such as words, Power Points, excel sheet, pdf etc. I highly recommend it for not wasting any time looking for your work. 9/10



A tool that makes presentation very interesting and not boring, I had used Prezi before in other subject for it’s not something knew. With Prezi you can chose the theme you like and make within it a twist you wish for, easy to upload videos from YouTube and also you can share it with your group member to edit it or even to put their parts. Prezi is a very powerful tool I recommending it if you want to have a strong impression in presenting your topic. 7/10






You might called it Microsoft Office but in on-line, you can work with it easily the fun part is sharing the work with your group commenting on it work with together all on-line no sending emails backward and foreword to edit and correcting each part every time.  Also your work will be saved online so no worse for any losses. If you want to work fast and efficiency try Google Docs and you will not regret. 6/10





Google Plus is a tool developed by Google for social network, for joining Google+ you need a Google account .By developing this tool, Google enter the huge competition of getting traffic from all over the world to engage in this new social platform. It might have been a top priority to create a Google + profile when there is already Facebook site , Twitter, LinkedIn, and many of other social networking sites; are popping up, but when its belong to Google , you should create your own profile here. 5/10
